Netto recalls pickled vegetables due to risk of injury
Netto Marken-Discount Stiftung & Co. KG informs of a nationwide recall. With the pickled vegetables concerned, there is an increased risk of injury when consuming them due to the broken glass that may be contained. The consumption of the following goods is therefore strongly discouraged.

According to Netto, the affected goods have already been removed from store shelves. The discounter ensures that the other products of the brand "Satori" are not affected by the recall.

Possible health risks from broken glass in food
Broken glass in food poses various health risks. Depending on the size, shape and sharpness of the foreign body, puncture and cut injuries to the hands, mouth and throat are possible. The teeth could also be damaged by the glass. In addition, internal injuries, inflammation and breathing difficulties cannot be excluded if the broken glass is swallowed. (vb)
